One of my favourites

I downloaded this game years ago on my iPod. I had forgotten about it and how much fun it was until just recently. Itโ€™s definitely one of the best games Iโ€™ve ever had on my phone.

Awesome!

This game is so awesome. I want more! More more more!
Iโ€™ve been playing this game consistently since it came out. Lots of other games have come and gone, but this one keeps a consistent place on my phone. Itโ€™s perfect.

Fun little arcade shooter

I saw the game on the AppStore while looking for Galaga style games and thought โ€œWell this looks interesting... why not get it?โ€ I was pleasantly surprised. Infectious music, aesthetically pleasing pixelated graphics and simple and easy to use controls with a cool story. Anybody who is a fan of space invaders and other old school arcade shooters should give this game a try.

Retro fun!

I love taking a break to play this game! The tilt controls are challenging but I have big thumbs and really struggle with on-screen controls, so it's actually a nice change. The top of my screen, however, always that there's an update available even though there isn't.

Great game!

I love this game. It's so easy and so much fun to play. My only complaint is that it needs more levels
